[PATCH net v2] can: isotp: check register_netdevice_notifier() error in module init

Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-can,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Register the netdevice notifier before can_proto_register() and check the
return value. If protocol registration fails, unregister the notifier
before returning the error.

Align isotp_module_init() with the reordering already done for raw.c
(commit c28b3bffe49e ("can: raw: process optimization in raw_init()")) and
bcm.c (commit edd1a7e42f1d ("can: bcm: registration process optimization
in bcm_module_init()")).

Fixes: 8d0caedb7596 ("can: bcm/raw/isotp: use per module netdevice notifier")

v2:
- Register the notifier before can_proto_register(), matching raw/bcm
- Reference the raw.c and bcm.c reordering commits as requested
